mw1 and waw had some GREAT moments, very finely crafted sp campaigns and the mp was stellar in both, since, then it has been a steady trickle downhill, but I am not counting out black ops 2 as a potentially great game, I am also not purchasing it day one either.....will wait for some friends and reviewers to try it out first, I did not like mw3 at all, mw2 was mediocre imo, and the first black ops was a good, but not great game, the best two by far, mw1 and waw.
